Snowflake Inc.
SnowPro certifications covering the Snowflake data cloud, from the broad Core credential to advanced architect, engineering and analytics tracks.
The SnowPro programme starts with SnowPro Core, which is a prerequisite for every advanced exam. Core is deliberately wide: architecture, storage and compute separation, data loading, performance, security and account management all appear.
Advanced exams narrow to a role — architect, data engineer, data analyst or data scientist — and are noticeably harder, with scenario questions that require reasoning about warehouse sizing, clustering and cost simultaneously.
Certifications are valid for two years, and passing an advanced exam extends the underlying Core credential.
Associate3
Role-based credentials for practitioners with hands-on experience.
Professional3
Advanced credentials covering design, scale and trade-off decisions.
Specialty1
Deep-dive credentials focused on a single technical domain.

This directory currently lists 8 Snowflake exams across 3 levels (Associate, Professional and Specialty). Snowflake adds and retires exams regularly, so treat this as a working map rather than a permanent one.
SnowPro Core Certification (COF-C02) is the usual starting point — it is the most widely taken associate-level exam in the Snowflake programme. The foundation of the SnowPro programme: Snowflake architecture, account access and security, performance and cost management, data loading and unloading, and data transformation.
The best-known active options in this directory include SnowPro Core Certification (COF-C02), SnowPro Advanced: Data Engineer (DEA-C02) and SnowPro Advanced: Architect (ARA-C01). Compare their levels, syllabus domains and role focus before choosing one.
